Is it normal to feel suicidal at night?

Okay so let me start by saying this really is nothing new. I've felt suicidal many, many times as long as i can remember. But for the past approximately 6 months it hasn't been that bad. The only time it really has been bad is when it is night. I would stay up extremely late and sometimes not sleep at all. And i would have the most horrible and awful feelings. And sometimes i will get very paranoid and begin to feel something creeping in the shadows. I also sometimes would burn myself to try and distract myself, but it only helps for a short period of time. At times i have a constant yearning to die and it plagues me until i finally somehow fall asleep. And then in the morning and throughout the entire day i am fairly well. (though occasionally it will get bad enough that i'll feel it during the day) I really just want help through this and want to know how i can make it stop. I've tried medicine, counseling, and just about everything i can think of. And well i guess do you consider this normal?

    There's a real reason why you're depressed and that wont go away until you deal with it.

    No, it is not normal. I'd suggest you continue getting help because you need it. You might want to look into options regarding what to do about your shitty sleep habits because poor sleeping habits can be triggered by anxieties and depression you may not be dealing with during the day.

    Do you only feel suicidal at night? Most suicidal people feel that way all of the time. It sounds like you made this up and are just phishing for something.
